\Header{mle-class}{Class "mle". Result of maximum likelihood estimation.}
\keyword{classes}{mle-class}
\begin{Description}\relax
This class encapsulates results of a generic maximum
likelihood procedure.\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("mle", ...)}, but
most often as the result of a call to \code{mle}.\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Slots}
\describe{
\item[\code{call}:] Object of class \code{"language"}. The call to \code{mle}
\item[\code{coef}:] Object of class \code{"numeric"}. Estimated parameters
\item[\code{vcov}:] Object of class \code{"matrix"}. Approximate
variance-covariance matrix
\item[\code{min}:] Object of class \code{"numeric"}. Minimum value
of objective function.
\item[\code{details}:] Object of class \code{"list"}. List returned
from \code{optim} 
\item[\code{minuslogl}:] Object of class \code{"function"}. The
negative loglikelihood function.
\item[\code{method}:] Object of class \code{"character"}. The
optimization method used.
}\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
\describe{
\item[confint] \code{signature(object = "mle")}: Confidence
intervals from likelihood profiles.
\item[profile] \code{signature(fitted = "mle")}: Likelihood profile
generation.
\item[show] \code{signature(object = "mle")}: Display object
briefly.
